Francesca De Grandis (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 29, 2005

So who wouldn't want to have the power to stand up to the soul-crushing mean girl, catch the eye of the local shy hottie, or even banish zits? Modern Wicca has nothing to do with brooding over hexes, struggling with indecipherable chants, or brewing foul-smelling potions. It's empowering, inspiring, and positive. It's about trusting your own wisdom and drawing on the enormous powers that are in you - yes, you - to enrich your inner and outer life, from feeling more confident to navigating romance, popularity, parents, friends, and school. What's not to love?

To become a first-rate witch, you need some serious tools and knowledge. Francesca De Grandis is a wise, friendly guide on your magical journey. She'll provide you with the essential spells, charms, invocations, rituals - plus plenty of down-to -earth advice - that will help you become the utterly divine being you were meant to be.

Celebrate your witchy self and learn how to:

• Cast Simple, effective spells for success, love, safety, and protection.
• Get over the jerk when romance goes sour.
• Find out if it's true love or truly a disaster.
• Stop harmful gossip, handle cliques, get out of bad situations, and unleash your inner bitch witch when necessary.
• Say sayonara to fears and insecurities that keep you from getting what you want.

5.0 out of 5 stars *pout, pout* Where's all the other rating stars!?, March 30, 2005

This review is from: Be A Teen Goddess! (Mass Market Paperback)

I am a teen who loves Francesca's new book. This book is so utterly fabulous and remarkable in every way. I remember when I brought my copy of the book to school and read a page of it I wanted to find Francesca's number and tell her what a great passage that was ((it was called "The Myths That We Are: A Cosmic Pep Talk")).

The spells in this book also work, I found this out when I accidentally ((perfectly accidentally, thank you)) did a love spell and within less than a week I had three guys attracted to me! That shocked me quite a bit and I didn't even realize I did the spell... wow. And if you feel kind of nervous about magick Francesca helps to teach you how to be safe and do magick at the same time.

When my mom got 'Be a Teen Goddess' I was happy, I got to... err... commandeer her copy for a little bit. Though every time she looked for it, it was in front of My eyes. Let's just say that I absolutely loved it!

This book is both funny and serious. It has helped, and is still helping, me with my problems If I was stuck on a desert island and only could bring five things ((including food and water)) this book would be one of them because I could go read it to cheer me up and to comfort me.

Just to let you know this book is so magical that the first publishing date is in April 2005 ((actually April 30th, but who's counting?)) and it is only March 2005!

I also realize that this book can not only help us girl teenagers, it can help boys as well as adults. Don't think that because it says 'Teen' or 'Goddess' that you cannot read it if you are a boy or an adult. I know it can help you as it helped me.

I hope you enjoy this book as I have. I completely trust it to be safe, enjoyable and fun. Wait a second... don't stay here reading my long review! Read the book ((trust me it is soooooo much better)).

Wonderfully written and fun to read!! Francesca helps teens (and adults TOO) relate with the God & Goddess on a personal level, really showing the reader how to connect with them in everyday life situations. Excellence and elegance, as usual, from one of the BEST!! THANKS Francesca!!

5.0 out of 5 stars BUY THIS BOOK For the teens you love, March 27, 2005

Laura Gail (Greenfield, Ma United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Be A Teen Goddess! (Mass Market Paperback)

I love Francesca De Grandis's work, and this book is her best yet. I love how her magic is so very real, practical, and wickedly fun.

In this book she really seems to get "it" (whatever that may be!) about what's going on for teens. My teenager keeps taking my copy of this book (her's is on the way) and using it to help her through the day.

As a parent I feel 100% comfortable with her doing any of the spells or rituals in this book. This is IMPORTANT!!!! As a witch and a mom I won't let her work alone with most of the other books aimed at teens. (Note: when I first read Silver Ravenwolf's Teen Witch I thought it was a lot of fun....then I began to realize how dangerously manipulative and unsafe much of her book is.) I actually feel a lot better about some of the issues that my daughter is facing knowing that she's using Be A Teen Goddess as one of the resources for making decisions.

As someone who has worked with the material in Francesca De Grandis's other books, I am looking forward to seeing how this book will effect my daughter's life. (Okay, truth to be told: I am really EXCITED to see what will happen wtih my daughter as she works with this book. And I am also really excited to work with more of this book myself.)

Finally, I was in a lot of trouble as a teenager. It is my deep conviction that if this book had been available to me when I was 14 or 15, that my life would have been very different. Being a teenager is tough; being a magically gifted teen can be a nightmare without support and guidance. And until now, forget it if that magically gifted teen was fey touched. At last we have a resource, a delightfully fun resource, for those teens. And for all those other teen Gods and Goddesses waiting to bloom.
